Eh, I technically have a college education, just an Associates Degree so it doesn't really mean anything to anyone, but I've got a pretty nice union job now, one where young kids can come in and make $100k in 5 to 7 years without any college education. There's one dude I know who's like 22, making a good living now while his buddies are probably stuck with huge loans learning about gender studies.

Zanzenburger 01/20/20 9:23:04 AM #30: |
This argument is flawed from both sides.
You don't need a college degree to be successful and you but you also won't necessarily be more successful without a college degree. The fact is, statistically speaking, that you will make more money (a lot more money) in you lifetime with a college degree than without. This is largely due to the promotion cap you would experience without a degree. More management jobs require a degree than not, so even if you find a decent paying job without a degree, at some point you are likely to hit a ceiling in management until you get at least a Bachelor's. The problem is that people attribute this fact as a blanket fact that college = more money and uninformed college students use college as a "win" button. Then they become distressed when their college degree alone did not get them a good job. College is just a tool to help you reach your career goals. Just like trade school can be, or a certificate program, or even a mentor helping you start a business. Even as a college administrator I am careful telling students that college is their best choice. For many, it isn't. --- Congratulations! Your post was deemed response-worthy. ...

Whether you go to college or not does not matter.
It depends on how you apply yourself and get training/learning that actually matters. I have know people on both sides, non degree and degree, suck at the above and go no where in their careers. I have also seen people on both sides, go great places in their careers. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You could also make $20-something an hour driving a forklift. Yeah. If college isn't for you and you don't really have any good guidance there is nothing wrong with just working minimum wage jobs and working your way up. Being a manager at a fast food place can be something good to put on your resume . You're still going to need experience when applying for work. You can still get a good paying job without a college education. --- *flops* ... Copied to Clipboard!

College isnt a big deal. Luck is more important.
I know a family that lived in a very rural area. The father was out hunting one day and after missing a shot he realized that he was sitting on an oil reserve. He sold all of the land and took his family to live on the west coast. Dude is a multi millionaire now. Last I heard his daughter was operating a wildlife refuge on their property and his nephew was trying to break into Hollywood. They're all doing great and none if them have more than a 6th grade education. --- PSN: Jiek ... Copied to Clipboard!
